Do you? I don't.
Okay, fine. I've felt guilty over saying no quite a few times. (Shocker!) For the most part though, it's a breeze.
I can think of a few people who should use this title for their autobiography. I wonder why people have such a hard time saying no. I personally feel it's best to use that word. It's clean, it's short, it's not messy. Overlong apologies, skirting issues and refusal to face things head-on can be a complete waste of time. If you don't want to, say you don't want to. Why waste your time and the other person's time? I guess this is because we want it broken to us gently.
Can you say no without feeling guilty? Discuss.

Remember when I said no to someone and I felt liberated and powerful? Saying N to the O can indicate a self-assured personality. In some instances of course. But when I say no to a nice offer, guilt creeps up because it was meant to please but instead I disappoint.
I usually feel guilty after saying Yes. Either that, or I regret it very much.
Hehe. We should say no more often! When guys say it, they can get away with it. If women say it... we're tagged as temperamental, hormonally-challenged bitches.
not really. i coach my agents, men and women, to say "no" when the situation calls for it. not sure if they've translated that to real life or if it's just for the job.
i don't feel bad either way. i'm just more direct, i suppose. no beating around the bush.
